Shambhajirao Kakade, veteran Janata Party leader and former Member of Parliament from Baramati Lok Sabha seat, died due to age-related ailments in his Pune home on Monday morning, family members said.
He was 90 and is survived by his wife, three children and their families.
Known as Lalasaheb in social and political circles, Kakade was elected to the Lok Sabha from Baramati in 1977 and 1984 as a Janata Party candidate.
Expressing grief, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said Baramati has lost a strong political personality.
